The Townships Trail invites you to explore and escape!

The Townships Trail lets you discover the Eastern Townships differently. It highlights the built and natural heritage of the Eastern Townships along a 430-kilometre marked tourist route. You can travel through 31 municipalities and stop at 27 official locations and another 8 nearby.

Townships Trail information and promotional resources will enhance your visit and vacation in the Eastern Townships. Be sure to take advantage of them. These are all available in tourist information offices and welcome centres in the Eastern Townships. The resources can also be downloaded on the Documentation page.

All along the Trail, the Friends of the Townships Trail will enhance your experience in this unique cultural adventure.

American and British heritage is a distinctive characteristic of the Eastern Townships region. The Townships Trail therefore draws on this theme as it takes you to the reminders of those first waves of settlement, by Americans, Loyalists, Scots, and the Irish, who arrived here at the end of the 18th and throughout the 19th centuries.

Travelling the Townships Trail at your own pace is the ideal way to escape, contemplate the beautiful rural landscapes, and relax in the heart of picturesque villages where life is good…

Happy travels in the Eastern Townships!
